The table contains the proof of the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines What is the reason for statement 2 class=

Respuesta :

The triangles ABC and CED are similar 
⇒AB/EC=BC/DE=AC/CD
The reason is the last one:
Corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in lengh.

Answer :- Corresponding side lengths in similar triangle are proportional in length.

Explanation:-

The property of two similar triangles are:

  • Corresponding angles are congruent.
  • Corresponding side lengths in similar triangle are proportional in length.

Given :- ΔABC is similar to ΔCED

then [tex]\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DE}[/tex] [Corresponding side lengths in similar triangle are proportional in length.]

Thus the reason for statement 2 is Corresponding side lengths in similar triangle are proportional in length.
